MacGyverâ€™s Notebook
To any origami master, a crisp, single sheet of paper can be turned into a beautiful creation with just a few folds.Â The Japanese art of taking a simple object and turning it into something beautiful is just that, artistic.Â In TechLife, â€œthe usefulâ€ is much more my area of expertise.Â Televisionâ€™s poster-child of usability was MacGyver, who seemingly every week used duct tape and a paperclip to defeat the bad guys.Â One utility item MacGyver always carried was his Swiss Army knife, a multi-utility tool about the size of a cigarette lighter.

While there doesnâ€™t appear to be a revival of the television show, the idea of a utility tool in all areas of life is always appealing.Â I have a special treat for you today, something I call MacGyverâ€™s notebook, also known as a PocketMod.
